When this may be needed
- The mixer drips constantly and new cartridges haven't helped.
- The handle is stiff or loose.
- The water swings between hot and cold.

What the team does
The technician isolates the hot and cold supplies, removes the old mixer and checks the wall connectors' spacing and condition. Connectors are cleaned and resealed, the new mixer is fitted level with its washers, and the hot and cold sides are confirmed correct. The mixer is tested on hot, cold and mixed, and every connection checked for leaks.

FAQs
Often, by replacing the cartridge or washer. Replacement makes sense when the body is corroded or parts aren't available.
Most exposed mixers use a standard spacing with adjustable connectors. Check the new mixer's specifications against your current one.
Some mixers aren't designed for use with instant heaters. Check the mixer's compatibility before buying.
